How do you fix hood latch and properly adjust tension bars that help keep the hood open on my 1997 Ford Explorer XLT?

The hood struts (aka lift supports) are shot. There is no tension adjustment. Your local auto parts store will sell you new struts for that vehicle for aprox $25 each. Just replace them and the hood will stay open for you.
